VOTER SUPPRESSION
TRUMP WANTS TO STEAL THE ELECTION BY DISENFRANCHISING THOUSANDS OF BLACK VOTERSThe Republican strategy has been on display in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania—all states that Trump won in 2016 but which Biden carried in 2020.

On Tuesday night, Republican election board members in Wayne County, Michigan refused to certify the election results in an attempt to delay President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump. According to the New York Times, one of the canvassers, Monica Palmer, who is white, said they would “certify results in communities other than the city of Detroit.” While they ultimately backtracked hours later after a massive outcry, this blatantly partisan act of voter suppression made it clear just who Republicans are targeting in their aimless bid to discredit the election results: Black voters. The Times noted that Biden received nearly 95 percent of the vote in Detroit, which is more than 75% Black. “The rest of Wayne County, which voted for Mr. Biden by a smaller margin, is more than three-quarters white.”Despite already losing a number of dubious legal challenges, Trump campaign lawyers, led by Rudy Giuliani, continue trying to manifest an impossible win for a candidate beaten decisively in the electoral college and popular vote. In Michigan, according to Mother Jones, “The Trump campaign has filed litigation to throw out the results in only Wayne County.” This would disenfranchise 750,000 voters and at least half the state’s Black population. (Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis applauded the Wayne board initially being deadlocked on Tuesday night—and floated the prospect of Michigan’s majority-Republican state legislature eventually picking pro-Trump electors.) Similar attempts have been made in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, with the Trump campaign’s legal team focused on throwing out votes cast in Philadelphia, a city that happens to be 44% Black and where nearly half of the state’s Black voters reside.
The targeting of Black voters by Trump’s team is nothing new. The 2016 digital campaign team reportedly sought to deter Black voters in Georgia, Wisconsin and North Carolina from showing up to the polls via social media ads spreading misinformation. Shortly before Election Day, Cliff Albright, an Atlanta resident and co-founder of the Black Voters Matter fund, told my colleague Chris Smith, “What I’m more worried about is voter suppression, in all its forms. We already had a white woman who pulled out a gun and was threatening organizers who were giving out food and water at a polling place in Albany, Georgia.”
In Georgia, where Biden narrowly won—the first time for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1992— tensions are running high with two run-offs scheduled for January that will determine which party controls the U.S. senate. Voter suppression has been a major concern in Georgia, especially after many Black voters were purged from the rolls or had their registration blocked during the 2018 gubernatorial race between then-Secretary of State Brian Kemp and former Georgia house of representatives minority leader Stacey Abrams. The current Georgia Secretary of State, Republican Brad Raffensperger, has described pressure from members within his party, including South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham, to either step down or throw out enough votes to tip the state in Trump’s favor. Though Graham dismissed the suggestion he called for tossing legal ballots, Raffenberger has stood by his account—and defended the work of officials in his state in a CNN interview. “We feel confident the election officials did their job,” he said.
Oh hi emnyfan.
Anyone who supports Biden supports liberal fascism and voter fraud.
Just thought I’d throw that out there fer ya.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerNovember 9, 2020 at 11:56 am #1203824994No one is asking for someone to be banned because they disagree with their political views. It’s time this nonsensensical claim stops.
People are asking for a user to be banned for posting (using their own words) fake news and conspiracy theories about a devastating pandemic when this thread is arguably about sharing news stories (as Atypical has been doing).
Anyway I’ll leave it there.
Wow thanks for the tip re Atypical! I’ll go turn my TV to CNN right away!

Thanks for being civil. Not much use in debating those so deeply plugged in except for this one little bugaboo…freedom of speech.
And although i know how necessary it is to control information to control the narrative, I’m happy to see independent thought and facts.
Btw, I’m an equal opportunity critic.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 9:14 am #1203474368Could not disagree more.
First of all, how condescending to suggest he has “an incredible amount to learn about the profession.” Would you say that about others who burst onto the scene like Chazelle? Or Gerwig? Why Peele? Methinks I smell some implicit bias…
Your analysis is purely subjective and is not focused on any of the objective aspects of the film. The movies are pretty thoroughly explained–particularly upon second viewing which is what he writes for–although since when do movies need to explain themselves? This is not a necessity to make a good film.
I’ve not seen The Lighthouse, but I don’t see what’s special about The VVitch. I watched it two years ago so I can’t begin to write a thorough analysis of any sort, but the movie’s examination of hysteria did not delve deep in my opinion. It felt like the creators set out to showcase hysteria without allowing it to develop naturally for the characters. I know people might argue the opposite, though.
Every post i make is biased, the same as yours.
Piper knows films. You as well. If you think he’s arrogant you havent read any of scottfergusons.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 8:52 am #12034743281. Shirley MacLaine, THE APARTMENT
2. Deborah Kerr, THE SUNDOWNERS
3. Melina Mercouri, NEVER ON SUNDAY
4. Greer Garson, SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO
5. Elizabeth Taylor, BUTTERFIELD 8None of them are bad IMO. Taylor is interesting plus she has her usual undeniable star quality, even if the film as a whole is awful. Garson usually bores me to tears, but this is her best work I think. Mercouri is an acquired taste. MacLaine & Kerr are the only ones I really liked though. Jean Simmons was robbed of a nom for ELMER GANTRY for sure, my personal list would include her as my winner then my noms would be MacLaine, Wendy Hiller in “Sons and Lovers”, Judy Holliday in “Bells Are Ringing” & Sophia Loren in “Two Women” since I don’t have that Los Angeles showing for a week rule.
This.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 8:49 am #1203474326Rooney Mara is an excellent actress I agree. However, I do think that J-Law has great talent and could be as versatile as Mara given the right roles.
Comparing Mara to Pugh is kinda useless ? Mara has been a known name in the industry for 10 years, Pugh’s a newcomer.

Blade Runner is overrated. It’s far from a bad film but it just feels dull.
I don’t like Haneke and don’t think he’s some genius. His films are pretentious and not fully exploring the thematics he chose to film. It’s like he wants to be disturbing just for the sake of it. He’s not a bad director, I’m just indifferent to whatever he makes. Funny Games, The White Ribbon, The Piano Teacher… all very meh.
Haneke is disturbed. His films are self stroking therapy for him.
